The Yarn and Fiber Company is proud to announce that a lace workshop with Galina Khmeleva will be held in the beginning of the week of July 20 (right before TKGA). Galina and I are still working on the format of the workshop and the exact dates but it is sure to be a wonderful class - she is awesome! Please give me a call if you would like to be added to the call list - this will be a first come, first serve class and is sure to fill fast (603/898/5059). If you are coming from out of state and need help with hotel bookings, etc. please let me know and I happy to help on this end. So extend your stay for TKGA and enjoy Lace with Galina, then onto the TKGA 10 miles up the road. What a great week!
